Whew. Fewer turns that typical for a Free-For-All Battle. A lot of Charge boosts were given out, and a Charged Bolt Strike would have taken two Pokémon out together if not for Serperior's Evasion boosts being psyched up. Relatedly, Serperior's Evasion boosts had no effect until the last rounds, where it made no difference to Nidoqueen's capacity to take SpAtk+6 Giga Drains.

Randoms. Moxie Honchkrow was having a bit of a sweep, but Klefki started walling it, and Whirlwind brought out Protean Greninja. Charizard Whirlwinded it out to Klefki, but some Toxic stalling brought it down to Water Shuriken KO range. Yanmega used Detect and Speed Boost to get the edge on Greninja, but Froslass was able to finish it off. Close match, and in the end Froslass made use of Pain Split and Will-o-Wisp to wear Avalugg down to KO range.

Main takeaway from this match was that each of us had a different incorrect idea of how Beat Up worked, which resulted in needing to rewind back to the beginning a few long and thoughtful turns in. Real life stuff cropped up at the same time, so Dash requested to forfeit so we all get a little pay for the effort. Shame, though. For a little while it looked like a brilliant new strategy had been discovered. Turned a 6v6 into a 3v3.

Randoms that turned into partial basics when Honchkrow started getting statted up thanks to a miss and a flinch. The battle wasn't really over from it, with Snubbull almost KOing it, but it would have likely put Zolar at a big disadvantage anyway.
